October 2022 Hospitality

Clare Florio Anthon — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 14:34:55 GMT

Greeting From The Hospitality Hut,

Now that October is here, the holidays are right around the corner. We will soon be filling our calendars with special events.

The Club has announced the Christmas-Holiday Party taking place on December 1st. You may register to attend on the club website, listed below, or by calling Ronnie.

As the club prepares to depart for Saba, the last overseas trip of 2022, we can look forward to what exciting trips await us in 2023.

While on an overseas trip, it's a perfect time to meet people in airports and on planes. I like to engage travelers in conversation. It's never a surprise when someone tells me they are a diver. I politely hand them a USA business card and tell them a few facts about our club. We have several members who were attracted to the club while on an overseas trip. They see the fun we have and that we are friendly, seasoned divers.

I wish you all Happy Diving.

Greetings from the Hospitality Hut,

Without a meeting in September, I look forward to meeting some guests at our October General Membership meeting.

With October just around the corner, most of the country will be cooling down...but not Florida. Our warm waters continue to lure divers in a southerly direction. This gives us locals a great opportunity to keep our ears and eyes open for new member possibilities.

Just the other day, as I started my most recent vacation, I discovered that my limo driver was a diver. It only took a brief conversation before he was telling me about how much he loved the sport. I always keep a supply of USA Dive Club business cards with me so I handed one to him and hope to see him sometime in the future.

I encourage you to visit our home page www.usadiveclub.org. Please click on the calendar and keep up to date on all the diving and non-diving scheduled activities. You may visit the photo gallery and take a peek at all of our past events.

I wish you all Happy Diving.

Summer is upon us and the water is very warm. If you haven't been diving yet, what are you waiting for?

Hoping to see you at the August 4th general meeting of the USA Dive Club.

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

At the June general meeting of the Under Sea Adventurers Dive Club we had a wonderful dive presentation into COLD WATER diving.

Our speaker, Will Schrier, was accompanied by 3 guests who attended on ZOOM. Thank you John, Jordan and Ashley for your attendance.

Warm water is here! We know our divers love warm water. So now is the time to jump on in and join a local dive. I am sure the Blue Heron Bridge is very active regardless of the weather.

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

It was nice to see guest Pat S. at the May general meeting of the Under Sea Adventurers Dive Club.

We now have a very comfortable meeting room with a lot of space to social distance. Please consider joining us for the upcoming June meeting. We still have ZOOM as an option and we have had excellent ZOOM presentations.

Remember to tell divers you meet, on local dive boats/shops, about our club and some of the great trips we take. Unfortunately COVID has hit many industries hard, including the dive industry, so it is important that we support our local shops and boats.

We have now entered Hurricane season. Be sure to be prepared and keep our fingers crossed for a very mild season. Most of all, please continue to stay safe.

I wish you all Happy Diving.

Erick enjoys diving in Little Cayman and would like to visit the Galapagos Islands.

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

In August, several members attended the first in person meeting held at The Hamptons. Many of us, including myself, attended via ZOOM.

At the September general meeting two ZOOM guests were present.

Ashley Guajardo lives in Texas. She met our club while aboard the Belize Aggressor. Ashely was certified in 1998. A club trip is one of the best ways to meet new divers. Hopefully she will have an interest in joining our club.

Next Lee Ann Waggener, from Pompano, attended the meeting. She has been a diver since 1993. Lee Ann heard about us a while ago from current club members. Lee Ann has also applied for membership. Welcome aboard!

I wish you all Happy Diving.

Ten years ago, Julie and Russ Manhold and yours truly planned the 40th Anniversary Party at Ellies' 50's Diner in the Flamingo Ballroom.

Here is the link to the 40th Anniversary https://goo.gl/photos/uyU2n1uv1kNrcHgE8

Now it's February 2021, one year since the virus came into our lives.

We are continuing our ZOOM meetings and have had wonderful presentations. Our VP of Programs is planning many more informative speakers and I encourage all to participate. Take a brief ZOOM tutorial and you will see how user friendly ZOOM is.

As we can't meet in person, I have a feeling many of you may have happy news you would like to share with fellow members. If that is the case, please email me at hospitality@usadiveclub.org and I will be happy to post your news here, in the Hospitality Blog.

Warm Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

I would like to take this time to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Season's Greetings and most importantly a Happy and Healthy New Year.

2020 has been a very challenging year. We all learned new skills, such as mask wearing, social distancing, disinfecting everything, ZOOMING, and the importance of having a supply of toilet paper. Not being able to hug loved ones has been the hardest for most of us.

Please remember to stay safe during the upcoming Holidays. It is hardest now when we all want to gather and celebrate. Staying safe this year will allow you to be here NEXT year.

Hello From The Hospitality Hut!

We have all been through some very hard months. It has been a challenge but if we all keep paying attention and respect each other's space, we may soon be able to resume some form of "normal" life.

Some of us continue to visit through ZOOM meetings, some on Face Time or other social media venues. It is very important to keep in contact with friends and family at times like this, especially those who are alone.

Roger did invite the Club to a general meeting last moth. It was nice to see those who could make the time to attend. Hopefully more of you will be available for future meetings.

Greetings From Cabin Fever Central....aka The Hospitality Hut,

First, I hope you are all well and staying safe.

We have all entered a whole new way of life. Masks, gloves and disinfecting products are now on our shopping lists, and forget about toilet paper!! WOW.

It is very important to find some form of staying social while social distanting. Some of us are using ZOOM for Happy Hour. Others depend on text messaging and family Face Time. It is hard to be alone during this time and I know many of us are. Please reach out and keep in touch with your family, friends and neighbors.

I would like to give a HUGE "THANK YOU" to all of our Nurses, Fire Fighters, EMT crews, Police and all other public servants that have been on the front line of this deadly pandemic.

On a lighter note, I have been placing wine bottles in each room of my home so later on in the evening I can go "bar hopping".

Hopefully, things will be better soon and we will be able to resume some form of normal life.
